EYE-SHADE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 762,121, dated June '7', 1904. Application filed November 21,1903. Serial No.182,093. (No model.)

To aLZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. BEVAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Eye- Shade, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to eye-shades, my more particular object being to produce a shade combining ventilation, lightness, and cheapness, together with a minimum of liability to heat the eyes and head of the wearer.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the invention in use. Fig. 2 is a perspective View, somewhat enlarged, showing the shade as removed from the head; and Fig. 3 is a is a little longer than the portion of the blind between the same eyelets, so that the bending of the blind 1 causes the ribbon 8 to stand ofi at the several points intermediate of the eyelets, as indicated in Fig. 2. By this arrangement the blind 1 is held off the distance of onequarter of an inch or more from the wearers forehead, and ventilating-passages are thus formed which prevent the wearers eyes from becoming unduly heated.

I am aware that efforts have heretofore been made to space the blind from the wearers forehead by the use of cork members connected rigidly with the blind and spaced apart.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent In an eye-shade, the combination of a blind, means for securing the same upon the wearers head, and a ribbon-like member bent into corrugations and connected with the under side of said blind for the purpose of spacing the blind from the wearers face.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

WILLIAM S. BEVAN.
